50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Waltham

“Fabulous food, especially if you have a sweet tooth. Always have around 10 specials. They also have creative give aways/promotions a few times a year. The owner and staff are very friendly. Today Susan waited on me and she was quick and very nice.“

“The food is great. I always get the taco special. The ingredients are fresh.
The only downside is the waiting area. You are packed like sardines in line to place or pick up an order.
I would definitely suggest calling ahead and placing an order for takeout over the phone.
There are a few tables for sit-down dining but the room is very tight and crowded.“

“Yesterday was the first time we tried the pizza at Pizzeria Enzina...Wow... and we are so glad we did. My husband and son ordered a calmelized onion and red pepper version and I tried the vegan veggie pizza. We were thrilled at how delicious each slice was and we loved everything, from the taste of the dough to the generous amount of toppings and how incredible the vegan cheese on mine tasted so amazing...yes my husband and son both swiped slices of mine... it was that good. So happy we found you Enzina....my new favorite ....can't wait to try other dishes and the canoli too!!! We are so grateful for such a wonderful meal!!“

“We happen to stumble on this restaurant! I was amazed that they were in business for 38 years .
The food was so flavourful! Since it was lunch buffet we got to try all the dishes . Having gone to a lot of Indian restaurants this one stands out in flavour and spices .
The owner Mala is an exceptional lady .“

“Delicious food and excellent service!!“

“Great food, great service. Classic 1948 stainless steel diner. Convenient onsite parking.“

“Great service and drinks! Steak was overcooked but that's the only downside. The potatoes and asparagus were both excellent. Started with the bang bang shrimp and guac. Had a couple cocktails, will definitely go back, prices were fair.“

“Love their dosa and chole bhature !!!!“

“Honestly the alcohol/drinks are really good here but there were waaaay too many children running around when I went. At least 6-8 kids, I’m not sure why people are bringing children to a place where people are getting drunk, but it definitely ruined the atmosphere“

“This place is wonderful!!! Great food, and decor. Even the Ladies bathroom is chill. Shout out to Sam our server who was so cool! Definitely coming back :)“

“Underrated!!
Service is so friendly and communicates very well on ETA on food and expectations.
I got the shrimp stirfry udon and my wife got the crazy maki, both incredible.
The udon is fresh and flavorful, and has a generous amount of small shrimp throughout the dish, no tails!! A lot of similar places around here give you maybe 4-5 medium shrimp, tails on. This was perfect and exceeded expectations. I'm not sure why I can't find how to add the photo I took of it to my review, once I do I'll add it asap.
The crazy roll was perfectly wrapped and presented well even for a ToGo box, and was delicious as well.

Definitely regret not finding this place sooner. A new favorite for us ♡“

“Our family of 5 were there yesterday/Thanksgiving for dinner. Our server Amanda was the best we have ever had at a restaurant. She is a gem, and they should be so happy to have her. This was our first time there, and the food was excellent. It is as good as Mooo, Capital Grille, Smith and Wolensky, and any of the high end restaurants at a lower price point. Don't hesitate to go there. You won't be sorry. Ask for Amanda to take care of you.“

“Went in for my birthday dinner. Service was great and the food was fantastic. Will definitely be back again.“

“The pizza was great! The kids asked to come back the next time we’re in the area. They were impressed with the size of each slice! - Franchesca - Rochester, NY“

“My 8 and 10 year old and I LOVED eating in the restaurant and our whole family loves it as take out and delivery. In particular, my kids loved the ramen saying it's the best they've tasted. We all loved the sushi (SO fresh) and I particularly loved giving the Sushi Chef (who I hear is a master who would love to practice his craft creatively off menu when given the chance :) my loves, preferences and any dietary constraints and he just surprised us w/delicious stuff of his own creation. It's become our favorite!“

“I have been going to Grassfields for many years and have been very pleased. The past few times I have been there I ordered the broiled scallops and have been disappointed. The muscle on the scallops are not removed which are very tough to eat. Also I feel they are gritty. I am hoping that someone reads this and corrects the issue because Grassfields is a lovely place.“

“Excellent nachos, came back just for them!“

“Good food very nice service“

“An impromtu visit to celebrate a work win. Always a fantastic meal, my wife's favorite steak prep method with the butter on her ribeye. The creamed spinach and au gratin potatoes are big faovorites too. Wine and coctails were equally satisfying and very well prepared. Service was very polite and timely but not obtrusive. Never an easy task and usually a challenge keeping our teenager's water glass full and napkin supply sufficient! We'll be back again soon!“

“God food taste and excellent beers“

“Everything here has been super tasty. I’ve been many times and brought different friends who has all loved it. Nice, casual, cafeteria-style service. Lots if actually-vegetarian options that are very well-seasoned“

“It had been a while since we had been to Guztazo, and the first time in its larger recreation. The interior space is now very impressive and pleasing to the eye. The noise level can be a bit loud for quiet conversation, but it also reflects the happiness of the diners, all of whom appeared to be enjoying themselves thoroughly. The service is friendly, efficient, and professional. A gentleman who appeared to be the manager or owner came by twice to see if we needed anything; we didn't. The tapas are wonderful. We shared three: the mussels, the octopus, and the cauliflower. All were excellent, but the mussels were outstanding. We also shared a wonderful flan for dessert, and it was great. There is parking on the street, and our spot was very close to the restaurant. This is a wonderful place.“

“Love so much about this place, the food is really good - the staff are so nice and friendly. They make you feel welcome. Love our Sunday brunches here.“

“I and my husband had a dinner yesterday and food was delicious, Angelo, our server was excellent, real pro. The restaurant by itself gave us a feeling of the real Italy. Thank you!“

“My family and I just returned from the Charles River Chapter of the Bay State Council of the Blind Holiday Party at John Brewers. It’s at least the 12th year we have been going there. Everyone is so friendly and attentive. The food is always good and they provide braille menus. We all had a great time.“

“Leo’s is a great place that has a friendly staff and great breakfast and lunch food with speedy service. Highly recommended.“

“Great little family run pizza place. We tried the Italian sub and the steak and cheese sub. Toasted rolls were perfectly warmed cheese was nice and melty. Definitely recommend. Not a lot of space to sit but they were friendly and it was comfortable.“

“Food was amazing came with so much even for the pricing I thought it was appropriate. Left full and did not leave any and customer service was so good kind and took care of us very well my water was always full I’m surprised this place isn’t packed 100% recommend“

“Annie is the most awesome bartender.she is so personable and helpful it was a great experience in Waltham“

“Always tasty food at a reasonable price 😊“

“The staff was friendly. The food was delicious. The price was reasonable.“

“the best! lunch dinner, great service, highly recommended“

“Family dinner during Labor Day weekend. Place was packed with lots of Asian customers. We ordered from one of the dinner set menus plus a few other dishes. Food was exceptionally authentic and tasty. They reminded me of the typical Taiwanese wedding banquet food. Service was quick and efficient. Ambience was lively, noisy and joyful. My entire family of 11 adults enjoyed the meal very much.“

“Great food and staff! Will visit again!“

“My boyfriend and I love it here! When the staff learned it was his birthday they went all out with taking care of us. The staff are so kind and want you to enjoy the experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We love Indian food and trying new places . Tonight was our first time here and it was so good. Do not be deceived by the empty restaurant! Take out orders we’re flying out of there while we sat. Our food took a while to come out but it was easily the best Indian food we’ve ever had. Paneer Manchurian, paneer tikka masala, paneer butter masala. All incredible. And wow the naan!!! The places we frequent don’t touch the quality of This food. And the best part? When you ask for mild and it comes mild! Incredible. Highly recommend.“

“Great spot just off 95. Warm and friendly staff with a great comfort menu. Nice place for a date night.“

“God food taste and excellent beers“

“Delicious, fast service. My husbands childhood spot..“

“Amazing food, great service, love the outdoor dining area! Can't wait to go back!“

“Came here on a Saturday evening because we had a hankering for a variety of meats and had driven by this place many times. As you walk in, you are greeted by a salad bar and table with plates or takeout containers. You grab whatever you want from the salad bar buffet (which has a small selection of meat at the end) and then head over to the grill. There are a different cuts of chicken, beef, pork, and lamb that you can request. Once you’re done ordering, they weigh your plate and you pay based upon that. There are different prices for salad bar only, salad bar and grilled meats, and grilled meats only). Then you can either take it to go or sit in the dining area behind the bar. There was a TV playing a concert and some other folks back in the casual dining area.

The picanha and other beef was a bit overcooked the night we went, but that doesn’t take away from how great the other meats were. The chicken breast wrapped in bacon was super juicy and flavorful as was the pork and spiced chicken sausage. I also tried the chicken heart just to try something new and it was also pretty good. The chicken wings were also a hit. I didn’t try anything from the salad bar, but my compatriots said the pork meatballs were also fantastic!

Overall the meats are great albeit some of the steak was overcooked, however the value for this meal was excellent. With tip, I paid $21 for nearly 1.4 pounds of various meats. Worth a try if you’re in the area and I suspect we’ll be coming back when our next carnivore craving hits!“

“The pho was fine; nothing special but solid. I got the pho dac biet and got lots of tripe and not much else. We tried the Korean fried chicken as well and it was forgettable - the sauce was not glazed onto the chicken very well and the texture was very chewy. Overall this is a serviceable option if you’re feeling pho but nothing more“

“I just ordered my first meal here and it was very good! You now have a repeat customer. The food was fresh and flavorful.“

“My plate of food was 🥘 good but too expensive .“

“I give it 4 stars clean and friendly staff.“

“My family have been customers before the pandemic changed so many businesses.
Today was no exception to the quick, tasty, and large portions. I miss the sit-down and socialize, and I respect their commitment to our community.
We watched and shared years of each other's family growing up.
Continue your patronage of a local family restaurant, or become a new customer.
Please share and post to support them.“

“Paisanos is our family standard. We eat there usually once or twice a month and have been doing so since before Covid. The food is excellent - it is correctly prepared, very tasty, and the portions are more than sufficient. The menu is divided between Guatemalan and Mexican dishes. The margaritas are very real - made with real lime juice, Cointreau and top shelf tequilas. Prices have increased very slowly, so the most expensive dinners are now just over 20$. The service is fast and very friendly.“

“Best Mexican, Salvadorean and Guatemalan food I've had so far within a hour radius. We got the fajita tejanas and the gordita (pollo) very flavorful, meats were soft and butter like, good cuts. Tortillas are homemade. I was the only white person here which is a sign that it's authentic or close to it. Will be dreaming of this. Seems like they have dancing at some point, and they have two bars. Great portions.

Parking: Plenty of free parking in a lot.“

“Our party of 6 had an excellent belated-valentines day dinner this past weekend. Our server Danny was so attentive and personable. He kept the drinks and laughs coming! All the food was fantastic and came out quickly. We will definitely be back again!“
